"In this lavishly illustrated new edition of his famous book, George Farwell describes his visits to ghost towns in many parts of Australia.  He compares their present appearance with their bright, busy past, and with nostalgic affection and many touches of humour he records conversations with old inhabitants and anecdotes of bygone days.  Throughout his text one feels the strangeness of these deserted towns, although the sunbleached timbers and crumbling masonry all seem to have stories to tell."
